STORY BEHIND THE WINE

D’Arenberg, a historic family winery in McLaren Vale, South Australia, has crafted distinctive wines since 1912. Many of McLaren Vale’s vineyards are on free-draining soils underlain with limestone, formed by the calcareous remains of the local marine fauna. One such creature was the Hermit Crabs. The Osborn family thought the name appropriate for this – McLaren Vale’s first ever blend of Viognier and Marsanne.
